"It is the responsibility of the people of Mississippi to try to raise the level - economically, educationally, spiritually and otherwise - of all the people of Mississippi. There's nobody else who's going to come in here and do it for us."

Spoken in 1982 by our founder, the late George McLean, these words continue to be the guiding force for CREATE Foundation. As Northeast Mississippi’s community foundation, we strive to meet the high standards set by George and Anna Keirsey McLean and improve the quality of life in our region. Read more of Mr. McLean's own words from the Charter Meeting of CREATE.
